Hi Ladies,

Sorry that I have been MIA for a while. To all the new ladies very welcome although we love having you here I hope that your stay is short LOL
- Cols, Jay I really hope that his new year brings wonderful thing for you both.
- 1st timer, Good luck with you IUI I will be thinking of you!!!
- Hayely, good luck with Urologist, I really hope that you can get answers and that this part of the journey is nearing an end for you.

So when DH went for his SA in Feb 2011 his count was 3 million, we then started changing our lifestyle eating healthier getting more active and he has been on staminogro for 4 months we then retested in December and the results came back 1 million so for some reason it dropped. We where devastated. We had an appointment with the FS on the 20th of Jan and neither of us could even face the thought of going. The last two years struggling to fall pregnant started to take their toll on our marriage and we where scared that going through fertility treatment might actually be the last straw that breaks the camels back!!! We decided that fertility treatment just was not for us so WE ARE GOING TO ADOPT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited and want to jump out of my skin about this!! We are so happy with our choice and really feel it’s the better option for us  So this morning I got the first batch of forms to fill in to get the process started. We understand that as we want a baby this may be a long wait but we are prepared for this!!

Every one must have a great day !!!!!! Baby dust to all!!!!!!!!

Me: 26
DH: 30 ( Low SA )
TTC #1 since March 2010

IVF ( ICSI ) #1 23 May - 6 Follies
29 May - ER 6 eggies, 4 good size 1 small and 1 premature
30 May - 5 fertilized
03 June - Day 5 Transfer 2 x Blast ( 1 Grade 5 and one Grade 4 )
13 June - Beta Test 116 BFP!!!!!!
First Scan - 1st of July @ 6w3d Only one but we are very excited for our little Broodjie!!!!!
Second Scan - 8th of August @ 11w6d Got the shock of our lives to see not one but two little healthy babies in there!!!!!!!

Good morning ladies

Thank you all for the lovely welcome!

Unfortunately AF arrived in full swing this morning :-( So, me & hubby will have to try again this month. The big O is due around the 23rd so I will be watching everything closely.

I really hope this is the year for all of us.

Joybaby - I'm keepin FX for you & hubby & I'm sure he is not complaining about you jumping him the whole time :-) I was planning on doing a test either today or tomorrow but ja, AF decided she was going to surprise me bright & early :angry: I think I will stock up on some tests as I'm a very impatient person & am surprised I held out so long with not testing but I told myself to just wait before I waste money.

Hayley, hope you & hubby get the answers you need & that everything works out well.

Hi ladies! So quiet!!!

Welcome to the new ladies. May your journey be a fast one!

I think DH doesnt know what's happened to me! I cant help it but I just want to take him the whole time. Poor man. Think I'll give him a few days to recover hehehe.

So the big O happened sometime between Saturday and today. I had loads of good CM today but not sure cos today is around day 17 which is a bit late for me to O.
AF due somewhere around the 20th based on recent months so I'm now in 2WW.
We're not trying too hard yet so hoping I'm not gonna get too anxious closer to the time, but I cant help it I just know my cycle so well.
But O was really sore this time, I even had to take ponado.

Mom2C keep us posted about AF. Hope she stays absent! When would you do a test? Do you keep any? I always land up buying too early and testing too early even though I know it wont be accurate then. But last pregnancy I got my first positive on 9DPO!

Hayley I really hope you and hubby get some answers soon!!!

First angel resting 25/06/2009 stayed with us a short 7 weeks but we still miss you.

Evening Ladies...

Hope you all well... ;) What a crazy day at work, i felt completely & utterly lost and just couldnt get into the work mode.... :unsure:

Hoping tomorrow is alittle better...

Momtoc, welcome to the thread, you sure have come to the right place. Sorry to hear all the up's and down's of trying for baby no 2... Hoping 2012 is a good year for you and also hoping the Endo doesnt return. I also hope for you and hubby you dont struggle for as long as some of the ladies on the thread, including myself. Really a roller coaster ride...

Here's hoping your BFP (Big Fat Positive) HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) is around the corner for you hun, holding thumbs.... And in the mean time, look after yourself ;)

Cols, im super duper glad to hear your BD marathon is on the go... ;) Dont give up YET :)

Strikkie, Ilse, SexyHexy, Snoekie, Chanz and the rest how you ladies doing?

AFM, on CD10 today.. Heavens!! Where has the time gone, almost time to get my BD marathon going soon..
Really looking forward to hubby's Dr's appointment? Intrested in hearing what he has to say... And that's about it from me...

Hope you all have a lovely evening and i shall chat tomorrow again...
